Dedicated Hexers only get 15% SKI and 10% LUC growths. Their chances to inflict statuses with this new formula would be quite low. Even with those passives holding them up.

Overall, this new formula gives too much weight to the defense, SKI + LUC vs RES + LUC might sound fair on paper, but in practice, this means a person with decent RES and LUC will not have to worry about it at all. Status infliction is only a chance and for it to always be successful, you would need a 100 point lead over them.

There are many ways to lower the formula with things like Anti-Status, Crucifix, Warding Cloth, Warding enchantment and Fairy Ring (which can be stacked to 3 currently), each contributing 10% Reduction.

And so far, the only ways to increase the formula are with Cursed Weapons and the Hexer's innate skills.


Ideally, I think the formula should stay as is because there's already alot of protection you can use and the formula needs to be skewed in favor of the inflicter otherwise these status effects become useless. At the very least, don't entirely take out WIL from the equation.
